Honeydew

Honeydew   oil on canvas   9 x 12 x .5

melon was the subject...a new variety...with bright yellow skin...and every bit as delicious.  The pocket of seeds and membrane in the center was extremely important as I tried to replicate the rhythm of their placement, as well as the darks and lights, without too much detail, without describing each and every seed.  The background ratio was greatly reduced in order to bring the melon up close and personal.

The seed problem was handled to my satisfaction, and the color harmony pleased me as well.
